Put up on RUclips 11+ years ago, and I still circle back to this song when I have a certain mood hit me. I'll break out the whiskey with all of you here.
first song in my life, that hearin it at the time i did hit me so hard i bursted out cryin, i love brians writing, he knows how to elicit emotions from evertrhing he puts out, i love this band , hell i know id be dead without this band.
wow, randomly clicked on the song 'cause just starting to discover this band - and he just summed up the last few years of my life and shoved in my face... thanks for breaking me tonight, Gaslight... sigh. great song... amazing.
You made this comment 10 years ago, I want to say, I just found this song a few months ago, despite being a massive fan of Gaslight Anthem, and this song is describing my life right now. Cheers, brother.
Nothing but raw emotion and brilliant song writing. Putting all his emotional cards on the able and one of those songs we can all relate to at some point in our lives past or present. For me, what music is all about
Her perfume, her eyes and her smile.. Things I'll not forget so easily! But "I hope you find a handsome young man Who can love you like I, baby, just like I can"
I didn't understand how he wrote this, a happily married man, but as time progressed, we learn at this stage he was fighting the divorce/break down of his marriage. Beautiful song, but I wish he didn't have the motivation to write them.
Adam Morgan buddy, if he didn’t write them he would’ve kept it inside, where it creeps and creeps until it dawns on you after fighting your pillows to try to sleep. It’s important to share these, someone needs to know they aren’t alone in these feelings, nor they do not have to keep them in. I feel for him, I feel bad. But I am also thankful for him and the music he’s given.
I read the initial comment a little different, more like: 'I wish he didn't have to go through that terrible time'. Basically it's sad that he had to go through his marriage failing in the first place. But I agree that he has given us some great heart-wrenching music as a result.
Should check out cursive, the ugly organ album. Pretty much sums up all artist. Guy writes two albums about his divorce, think it's more by now. Shit is so full of pain, and like emotional vampires we all love to just fester in the same pain these musicians are conveying. Love and heartbreak is such an amazing emotion, humans will never stop writing about it.
And if I saw this much blood If it was all on your hands If the pills in my system came to call you up again Would you buy me a drink, to calm down Would you buy me a drink right now? ....CHILLS....
A lot of people want to knock his voice and his style (and sometimes i do, too), but makes the difference between reading the lyrics and being sad, and listening to the song and feeling the pain fresh, all over again.
Brian Fallon is one of the greatest artist of all time. You can feel the blood he writes with.
could not agree more
golden word‘s ❤️
Blood???? Emotion or pain is better words
If your heart doesn't hurt after this... you must not have one.
These guys can do no wrong.
+tllallyrfrnds this id how song reviews should be written... perfect summation
Brian Fallon is hands down one of the best lyricists who's ever lived.

same
cheers
Well, it's 5am here but I might just have to break out the whiskey too.
That harmonica puts this song into the top for me.
"What'd ya think I'd forget? I remember each and every lonesome night lone."
I love this song... so much emotion in Brian’s voice here.

Brian Fallon put his soul on this song.... You can feel in every chord
"I hope you find a handsome young man, who can love you like I, baby, just like I can."
That defines every love I've ever had in my entire life.
Hope The Gaslight Anthem will record this song on their new album.... it's way underrated as a single!
I assume you know they broke up a year ago?!
they will come back
Joe Treanor it wasn't a breakup. Brian and the rest of the guys have said they didn't break up. They.l be back when "they have something to say"
@@Robhensen aaand you were right
Good Call! They’re back...
This is still very very very beautiful. Brian Fallon is king of real, emotive toons.
Best song he ever wrote
I do remember that very afternoon so well, when i first heard that voice. I'm pretty sure it won't fade away, for the rest of my life!
I wish I could relive the moment I heard Great Expectations the first time.

Kevin Roberts I agree!! Very well said 😘

Brian Fallon made a soul contract with all of us to have his heart broken repeatedly so he could heal us.
These lyrics are phenomenal.
Love these guys...... by far one of my favorite bands!
And if I saw this much blood
If it was all on your hands
If the pills in my system came to call you up again
Would you buy me a drink, to calm down
Would you buy me a drink right now?
....CHILLS....

Brian....you rock!!
Oh Brian, I just want to hug you and tell you everything is gonna be just fine..
best band ever.
great song, great voice. In the style of Pete Yorn, so take that as a compliment.
Spooky, heart felt, and just plain awesome!
ITunes or Rhapsody would not let me buy this song without buying the entire NCIS album. I'll miss this song on my drive tonight.
I wish the 10" would have come with a download code. This song is too damn good.
It is a pretty red one isn't it? That and the cover of Bon Iver are amazing
This is f*#king sick
my forst time hearing this group tonite on conan
I want this on iTunes or released I want all of there music
Saw them at Sound Academy in Toronto, had the shit venue, great band experience, totally worth it!
Really good song. Reminds me more of the Horrible Crowes than Gaslight. Maybe it's the filter used on the vocals.
Genius!
does anyone know the harmonica chords for this? or even know which note he started?
Who hurt this man
I was there too - fully agreed!
pretty much how I feel with every girl in my life
I hear ya. It's why I try not to let myself care anymore.
Amen to that. To both of you.
gonna have to leap up on this, i feel you gents
Holy Fuck who hurt this man?
Use youtube to mp3 and put in on your ipod that way.
Amazing
wow
very good
Brian Fallon and Elena Tonra could be a perfect match, their lyrics are so "OMFG, who the fuck hurt you for make music like this?
this song is music porn... i love it it helped me alot during a lot of relationproblems...
I really wish I could view this on my phone :(
This fucking song.
and crying. wtf.
